Comedy is difficult for an actor. But I think I have a good sense of humor and manage to make people laugh and make them happy.

My biggest concern is always the students who are working toward a certain career - when they limit themselves to just that one option.

No one is perfect and everyone is different, but everyone one is beautiful in their own way and that's what makes us special.For me, it went beyond being a beauty queen.
